What the Assistant State Chemist
Saws.

If there has been any doubt in regard to
what is the best milk for every use, the let
ter of Mr.. c. NJ. Strahan, Assistant State
Chemist, published on the first page of this
issue, settles the question beyond all contro-
versy. Mr.. Strahan, in his letter to MessrS
S. Guckenheimer & Son, State agents, says
that the Highland brand of milk is per
.fectLy pure, containing no ingredients save
those natural to a good quality of cows
milk, and when mixed with water makes a
beverage superior both in richness and fla
vor to that usually furnished by city diaries,
and that its healthfulness and wholesome
ness are beyond question. Such an indorse-
ment, coming right from our own State and
from such an eminent source, is the highest
testimonial any article could receive. Mr..
Strahan's conclusions regarding the High
land brand as the best milk for all uses con
firms the general testimony of the leading
physicians of this city and OF the general pub
lie, who know from experience what good
article it is.

Withdrawn.

The past week has been full of uncer-
tainty for the Southern League Mobiles
withdrawal disarranged the schedule so that
while Nashville and Memphis are laying off
New Orleans and Charleston were the only
clubs in the field Charleston won four
straight games from the Pelicans. The
positions of the clubs are the same as they
were at the beginning of last week. Nash
vile still leads, with Memphis second and
the Crescent City third. Savannah won
three games from Mobile by default. The
PelicanS will arrive from Charleston this
morning, and will play here tomorrow,
Tuesday, "Wednesday and Thursday. Nash
vile and Memphis viii take up the schedule
again on Friday.
The Birmingham meeting was ex-
pected to wind up the league. In
stead of this, Birmingham was
admitted in Mobiles place, and the league
will make an effort to pull through the
season. President Haas, of the Savannah
Association, urged a dissolution on the
ground that it is impossible to carry on the
league on anything like a paying basis.
President Morrow, however, urged con-
tinuance, and Birmingham, after hard
fight, was admitted. 1t will be some time
though before a club can be got into the
field President Haas was in Atlanta yes
terday, and viii return here tomorrow.
The Savannah team, it is understood, will
be reorganiZed this week.

CATTLE THIEVES RUN DOWN.
Pastures on the White Bluff Road
Raided by Negro Cow BOYS.


Raided by Negro Cow Boys.
James King (colored), was arrested yes
terday by Deputy Sheriff Fickley and was
committed to Jail by Justice Waring Rus
sell, Jr., for cattle stealing. About two
weeks ago King stole a COW from William
Humbert on the White Bluff road A day
or two after the first theft he got
away with another COW. He sold
them both to d. Fulton. Fulton was an
rested on a possessory warrant issued at
the instance of Humbert and Lucy Steele,
but gave up the property, claiming that he
bought it in good faith, not knowing that it
had been stolen. About the same time Full
ton bought from King two other COWS, which
he killed. When arrested King admitted
the theft and told the officers what he did
with the cattle. He will be held for trial at
the June term of the Superior Court.
All of the property was stolen from the
pastures on the White Bluff road, in the
vicinity of the Georgia Intirmary. A num-
Der of other cases have been reported, but
the thefts have not been traced out. Besides
the cattle stolen from Humbert and Lucy
Steele, King also stole valuable COW from
Thomas j. Cox. The people on the out
skirts of the city are constantly annoyed by
petty thefts, but until recently cattle steal
ing has been an unusual occurrence.

tory at Home.
CHARLESTON, May 21.-Charleston won
her fourth game from New Orleans and
her eighth consecutive home game to-day.
Hmgler and Grady were in the box for the
locals and Powell and Well for the visitors.
The home sluggers dropped on to Powell in
the first inning and hit him for three sin
giles and double, which Melted them four
runs and won the game. The feature of
the game was the two home runs made by
Cartwright, the huge first baseman OF the
Pelican team. The first ball was
batted over the centre field
fence, the second one over the extreme left
field fence and his third, fly, fell only a
few feet short of the extreme right field
fence.
Grady played superbly behind the bat
and Hungler, who occupied the box for the
first time since his arrival from Mobile was
very effective, keeping the visitors down tc
five hits. The game was umpired by Atkin
son, everybody, players and spectators
having become wearied with Diestel's queer
decisions. The score was:

THE PEACH CROP.

Advices from Growers Indicate About
One-Half the Average Yield.
Mr.. L. Putzel has received advices from
portions of Georgia, principally from points
between Gordon and No. Is on the Central
RAILROAD, to the effect that the peach crop,
which was heavily damaged by the frosts
early in the spring, will be from one-half
to three-quai'ters as large as it was last
year. Some growers place it at only quar-
ter to half. The dry weather has as yet
done no damage 1t is possible that the
crop may be larger than is anticipated, for
there are a number of orchards that will
ship this season that have not borne fruit
before, so that the aggregate may swell to
the size of full crop, but the dealers here
only look for half q crop at best

of the historic st. Michaels Church. Yet
st. Michael's was once saved from destruc.

embalmed in immortal verse;"
Mr.. George 5. Holmes has written TO the
Neps and Courier as follows: This state
ment as to st. Michaels is continually crop
ping up, thanks, ! presume, to Aldines
lines, How He Saved st. Michaels;' yet

that in June, 1876, negro did save the
